Network controller does not get an IP address via DHCP

Bug Description

After starting Ubuntu the network controller does not get a valid IP address from the DHCP server. The device eth0 is configured correctly and physically present, but internet does not work. I have to restart that process manually by typing "sudo dhclient eth0" and then all works properly.

syslog says:

Jul 4 21:21:07 ubuntu NetworkManager: <info> eth0: Device is fully-supported using driver 'forcedeth'.
Jul 4 21:21:07 ubuntu NetworkManager: <info> nm_device_init(): waiting for device's worker thread to start

I've downloaded the 7th December build for Hardy. The bug persists!
dhclient v3.0.6 refuses to get an ip in a wired network.
I've tested the gutsy version of dhclient 3.0.5 and everything works fine.

If there's a fix released, where can we get the new package?
Thank you.
